who have been loud in their COM
plants against these determinations
and have proven that they
are a means OF profit to gi-
ant corporations and the ruin OF
men Of small capital, should make
it their duty to sustain their state
ments by inContestable proof. The
long and short haul is the basis OF
that complaint, and 1t is to arrive at

safest means OF remedying IL, that the
